Hi! I think my most useful tip would be that you don’t need as much clothes as you think you do. I seriously overpack every time I go back to uni, and end up wearing less than half of the clothes. An extension cord is a very useful thing to have. Your room will probably only be equipped with a few sockets, which is really insufficient if you have a buttload of electronics like I do! I can’t live without my portable steamer either. Ironing clothes is such a chore, and the steamer really makes life so much easier. Another thing I am sorely missing is a table lamp, but that is not really a necessity!

I wish I was organised -  the state of my room right now would probably give my mum heart palpitations.

Good luck and enjoy uni!! 

Thanks! :) I am studying comparative literature and linguistics. I am fluent in English and Chinese, and speak conversational German. x
